Proverbs states that gray hair is a crown of splendor, or glory in the King James Version.
"The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old." Proverbs 20:29
"Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life. " Proverbs 16:31
I admit I always thought that was a poetic and figurative way of saying we should honor those who are old.
Until I realized that some of my silver hairs sparkle in the light. I've got one in particular right at the top of my bangs that just shines under the light above my mirror. And then there is that one at my temple that winks at me from time to time. I have more than one gray hair, but these two sparkle!
I have my own tiara!! I've never been one to wear a tiara, but I can live with this one. And I confess my vanity is thankful my gray hairs are silvery white ones instead of flat gray ones.
My crown is going to be beautiful and white! But for now I have a sparkling tiara.
My own "crown" is becoming more and more prominent these days ;) .
While practicing our colors in Spanish yesterday, my youngest dd said, "Mom, you are "cafe" ... but your hair, it has a lot of "gris"! Thank you, dear for pointing that out to me, LOL!
Now, I'll just think of it as the tiara I didn't get to wear in my younger years... thanks for the smile!
Blessings,
Catherine :)

Oh what a blessing this little blog was for me today. *giggle* Thanks for sharing!!!
Yep. I have a few sparkes too....although less than a few months ago. I did not cover it. This is apparantly from kombuch and oil pulling as well as a better diet.
We are a Christian homeschooling family with 7 children (ages 14, 13, 10, 9, 6, 3, and 1). We love having "room to breathe" in rural Central Kansas, and are working to make the "family homeplace" our own home.
